IN THE SOUTH OF YORKSHIRE, BORDERING UPON THE COUNTY OF NOTTINGHAM. The entire MANOR and LORDSHIP of ROSSINGTON, an extensive FREEHOLD ESTATE, WOODS, and PLANTA TIONS, of nearly 3,000 acres, situate on the Great North Road, 156 miles from London to York and Edinburgh, and four miles south of the town of Doncaster. MR. TILBURN will SELL by AUCTION, at the Mansion-house in Doncaster, on THURSDAY, the 25th day of October, at. Two o'Clock, the ROSSINGTON ESTATE, comprehending the entire Manor, Lordship, and Parish of Rossington, the property of the Corporation of Doncaster, si tuate in a favourite part of the county of York, extending over nearly 3,000 acres of fertile arable (turnip and barley soil), meadow, pasture, and wood lands, within a ring fence, subdivided into 14 eligible farms by thriving quickset hedges. The whole of the rural village of Rossington (except the rectory) composed chiefly of modern farm-houses, home-steads, and agricultural buildings, all in good order and condition, well built and judiciously planned with great consideration to the occupancy and convenience of an old and highly respected tenantry, with comfortable cottages and pro lific gardens for an industrious and well-regulated labouring popu lation. Shooters'-hill, the residence of R. F. A. Freeman, Esq., delightfully situate, is part of the valuable domain, approached from its lodge on the London-road, and the mansion, though of unassuming pretension, is full of comfort, presenting a neat eleva tion, environed by tastefully displayed plantations, gardens, plea sure grounds, and park like enclosures, quite a gentleman's resi dence, replete with all requisite domestic offices; and eompletefarm buildings, for 400 acres of land attached, and let on building lease at a low rent, with the mansion, commanding extensive and varied scenery over the soft undulating and far spreading woods of Ros sington, (the town of Doncaster in view,) and closed by rising grounds and woods in the distant horizon. Rossington Grange, secluded by sheltering woods, and watered by the Thorne Rivulet. On the westerly side of the estate is a highly respectable farm residence, with capital homestead, buildings, and premises for 300 acres of land, forming altogether one of the most valuable farms of the neighbourhood. The Inn, called the Corporation Arms, but more generally known by the appellation of Rossington-bridge, with its excellent accommodation, stabling for 100 horses, and spacious farmstead and lands, is admirably situate by the high London road on the northern boundary, and has attained, under the . present management, that well-merited reputation which its sporting and agricultural friends are on all occasions anxious to proclaim. The luxuriant woods and thriving plantations, pro verbial for their neat and healthy appearance, and the theme of general praise, contain nearly 300 acres, yielding a very considerable annual income, including the Hunster, Holms' Carr, and Parks' Woods, of fine grown oak timber, which, with the other covers upon the estate, and the approximating strictly preserved grounds of J. Walbanke Childers, Esq., M.P., George Greaves, Esq., and others, and parts of the Nottinghamshire possessions of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, afford covert and plain shooting equal to any in the kingdom. The vicinity of Doncaster has been justly celebrated for its numerous seats of the nobility and gentry and fashionable society.

I t would be vain to attempt to describe all the advantages which this beautiful domain possesses. It must be seen t o b e full), appreciated, and it may in truth be said to be one of the most compact and de sirable estates in the county, and a capital and substantial landed investment. The advowson, or perpetual right of presentation to the Rectory of Rossington, of the annual value of upwards of 7001., is in the gift of the Corporation, and will be sold subsequently under the direction of her Majesty's Ecclesiastical Commissioners.

"It is," says Dr. Waterson, of St. Kitt's, " a most nu tritious diet, easily digcstable, and, consequently, invaluable for in valids and children, and very superior to sago, tapioca, arrow root, and gruel. It contains less acid than any other farinaceous food with which lam acquainted. I have never known it turn sour upon the stomach." Drs. Ryan and James Johnson confirm these statements, and speak in high praise of the " Tousles Alois."

STIFIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS The state of the crops, and of the 610 trade, excites, at this moment, the deepest interest throughout the kingdom. According - to same accounts, a season of severe scarcity is at hand. According to ethers, the harvest may be ex pected to exhibit fair average results. These discrepancies of statement and of opinion, of course, provoke specula tion ;-- s and speculation, in turn, makes itself felt in increas ing the difficulty of arriving at the true probabilities, of which the case admits! A Special Court of Common Council met yesterday, for the purpose "of tnking into consideration the present alarming rise in the price of the prime article of human food." At that meeting Mr. De puty Peacock proposed that the Court of Common Council " should petition both Houses of Paillatnett, to allow the corn pow in bond to come into the market, free of duty," After some discussion the proposition was negatived. The professed object of Mr. Deputy Peacock's motion, was "to ensure that the poor should be supplied with bread, at a reasonable price." The real object was, we venturrr'io think, something very different ;—the effect, at all events, of that proposition, had it been successful, would have been to put, without risk, an immense s u m of money into the pockets of speculators in foreign corn. Wheat is selling now at 745. per quarter. Tile corn iti bond may have cost the importers, on the average, 40s. To admit bonded corn at the present moment, duty free, would be to make a present to these importers, of some thing like 345. per quarter. This liberality towards specu lators in foreign corn would have been displayed (had Mr, Deputy Peacock succeeded in his motion) exclusively, at the expense of the English farmer. The farmer would have been cotnpellel to forego the advantages-insufficient, to his own protection, as, in the circumstances of the' ease, that advantage may eventually prove—of a high price of wheat ;—whilst the speculator in foreign grain would not have been required to forego----even for the benefit of the Poor—. a ny portion of the enormous gain of 345. per Oar• ter, which Mr. Deputy Peacock proposed to secure to hi m ! It is, undoubtedly, one of the first duties of an honest Governinent to protect the poor 1----but why should an attempt be made to throw the cost. of that protection, exclusively, on the farmer? Hit shall Aura out that the harvest is, in truth, deficient to a considerable ex tent, the English farmer hiniself will, let it be 're membered, be a heavy loser, despite the rise •of price in wheat. if there shall be a deficiency to the extent of one-third in the crop, 10s. a bushel, or even a higher pric e will afford no efficient compensation to the farmer. But to force down prices by fraudulently tampering during as easonolscareity with the laws, on the faith of which the farmer has embarked his capital in the cultivation of the English soil, would be an act of atrocity, on which no Le gislature, unless bent on bringing about a revolution, dares to venture. Are then the poor, it may be asked, to be left to suffer, under the pressure of a scarcity of bread ? God forbidi Let ever y effort be made to relieve the distres s o f t h e poor—but let every effort, in the circum stances, be honest ! In other words, let all classes above the level of the poor, contribute in fair proportion, accord ing to their means, to save the popr from the effects of scarcity ; but let no attempt be sanctioned, to alleviate the prospective sufferings of the peer, by the adoption of measures ruinous to the English farmer ! If the English farmer, in a seasou'Of scarcity,' is to he de prived of the c h ance , w hi c h hi g h pr i ces g i ve him, of avoiding heavy loss, let full compensation- be given to the farmer, by those classes, of the affluent, who affect deep sympathy for the poor, but who, like Mr. De puty Peacock, would seek to alleviate the impending misery of the poor—not by contributing out of their own abundance—but by the more easy process, of robbing the farmer of that protection which is guaranteed to him by law ! It might, by possibility, be expodient, in certain circumstances, to admit bonded corn into the market, duty free! Good ! But let Mr. Deputy Peacoat, and the affluent classes, who, like Mr. Deputy Peacock, .do not groW corn, be ready to join in supplying compensation to the English farmer, for the violation of his charter! Nay, we are willing to imagine that it might, perhaps, be expe dient, in certain possible circumstances, to bring wheat from abroad, and to distribute that wheat gratuitously, amongst the poor in this country! By all means ! But let every class, able to endure the impost, be taxed, as well as the English farmer, in order to supply the means of pur chasing the wheat in question ! The state of the corn market - has, as a matter of course, been seized on, by all th e fr e e-traders, and the journals in their interests, as a fitting occasion for abusing the corn law s ! Th e vehe mence with which these clamourers urge, at the pre sent moment, their opinions on the .publiq, .has : not, how ever, added, 'in the slightest degree, to the • cogency Of the arguments on which those opinions profess to rest! If the corn laws of this country were repealed to morrow, how, let us ask, would the condition of the labour ing poor be improved, in so far as a state of things like that n now before Us , is concern ed ? The hi g h p rice o f wheat -s ad the a nticipated hardship on the poor—are the results of a hitherto unfavourable season.. - -• But - even if the wishes of Joseph Hume himself were realized—even if England did not grow one ear of wheat—Still unfavonrable seasons would be experienced from time to time. Such seasons are not confined to England. Even in America, there was, last year, a deficient crop of wheat. Europe supplied that deficiency. In Poland, sometimes, the crops are very scanty ! N o w, let us suppose England absolutely depen dent on foreign countries for the larger portion of her sup plies of daily food—atid let us, also, suppose the advent of a season of scarcity ! What, then, would be the condition of England? Miserable, beyond description—and her misery would admit of no alleviation ! A scarcity of wheat abroad would, then, be absolute famine in this country. At present, a deficient cr o p may i n j ure the poor by abruptly raising prices ; but sill En g l an d i s se cure of relief, even if at the very strife time the crops of tbe Continent should happen to be deficient! While our Corn Laws continue, the higher wages of the labouring poor i n -England make them, in a season of Continental scarcity, better customers to the Continental co ra grower, than the labourers of the Continent could be ;—and, there fore, Continental corn would, in the circumstances sup posed, na turally be placed at the disposal of th e E ng li s h artisan. But let the Corn Laws of this cou n t r y b e re pealed, and English wages would speedily sink to the Con- tinental level ! The English artisan would, therefore, no longer be a better customer to the Continental corn grower, than the artisans of the Continent — and whilst the English artisan's power of purchase would be fearfully lessened, his dependance on the foreign corn grower would be no less fearfully increased ! Let then the Co n ti nent of Europe, in such circumstances, be visited with an unpropitious sea son, and the great body of English labourers might be left, absolutely without the means of supporting existence! The English Corn Laws afford the last and greatest protection w hi c h the English labourer enjoys. The E ng li s h C orn Laws afford the only guarantee for a home market to the English manufacturer. The English Corn Laws afford the only security to the capital of the cultivators of our soil, and the only security against absolute famine, which the other nine-tenths of the community possess I — Arming Herald. It Will be seen by reference to another column that a Special Court of the Common Council was summoned yesterday, to take into eonsiderafon the propriety of peti ttomog Parliament on the subject of the increase of the price of bread. The reader will also find in another column the latest particulars collected from the provincial Press re sp?ctitg the state and prospects of the harvest. The daily augmentation of the price of bread renders the subject of the Corn Laws, to which •we lately drew attention at the time of Lord Pitzwilliam's patriotic motion on the subject, a nYit ter of deeper interest and of more urgent importance. It was made the most conspicuous subject at the late great fleeting 'of the Birmingham Union, where the unanimous demand of the mighty multitude assembled—(consisting of 200,000 persons)—that the bread tax should be abolished, was accompanied with the admonitory indication of banners with-thre e loave s of bread (Russian, French, and English, of proportionate sizes) quartered on their escutcheons. Is not this a hint to remind the selfish, supine, and unprophetic landed aristocracy of this country, of the fate which a simi lar obstinate refusal of justice to the wants of the people brought upon 'France at the first outbreak of the revolution of 1 . 78 , 9 ? The pubic will he startled to learn the real fact , that at this very time the 'inhabitants of London are Paying deare r fir their bread from 72 to 75 - per cent. than the inhabitants of . Paris!

Of course the En g l ishnian--produeing • commodities proportion ably dearer—loses the foreign market. Freedom of buying and fandamental Finciple of all social economy-- is violated by th:s nefarious reguhdou. The inauspicous rfsults of the late prolonged w:nter upon the harvest, and the i ' l.

A harmless class they must needsbe deemed; but, even in growing gooseberries, emulation may by carried too far, Th e R oyal Sovereign, which, in 1794, was grown by George Cook, of Ashton, near Preston, which weighed 17 pennylvetgh t . s 18 grains, was tho ug ht a royal gooseberry at that day, — ll ut the growt h of gooseberries keeps pac e w ith t h e march of intellect.

GIANT STRAWBERRY.—We have before US a strawberry, grown in the garden of James Perston, Esq., of Crosspark , which measures 5i inches by 41 inches.—Glasgow Argus. Yesterday a young woman named Connolly was charged at Lambeth.street with having deserted her mistress's child. It appeared that she had asked a policeman to hold the child for a few minutes, and had then run away, but had subsequently been taken. The gill said the policeman had seduced and deserted her, and she had left the child with him for a few minutes to frighten him, by making hint believe ity4r4.lli4 Own. .lie was disaarged. PR ICE sd. Nald is not en oug h to last till the harvest—proportionably deficient tip that harvest may fairly be anticipated to be. It should be added that dig stack of foreign corn in bond ap pears, according to the last NEM of the official Inspector- General, Irving, to be no more than auflicient (according to Mr. ALicculloch's calculation) for six days' consumption, These are gloomy prospects, and will have, we fear, a still more lugubrious influence on the next financial and com mercial balance-sheet of the Exchequer. Foreign corn has, in fact, been shut out from British ports for the last seven years. The effect of excluding foreign corn is —first, to raise the price of British corn—and, next, to keep down the price of corn in foreign markets. The price of food, therefore (the great regulator of labour and of prices gene rally), is by this artificial and pernicious process kept per manently at a higher price in England than any country in the world. The average price in England may be stated At fifty per cent. higher than in the other countries of Europe. The results are so well expressed in the follow ing brief and masterly recapitulation of a Contemporary, that we could not improve it, and, therefore, in full con currence adopt it : " Ist. It raises the price of British manufactures and of everything produced in this country, both to the home consu mer and in the foreign market. 2d. By lowering the price of corn abroad, it lowers the price of foreign manufactures. 33. It deprives the corn-growing countries of Europe of a market for their natural produce, and compels them to ma nufacture for themselves. 4th. It provokes their Govern ments to exclude our manufactures as we exclude their corn. sth. It raises up and fosters foreign competition 'with our manufactures, and gives the foreigner a premium for meeting us in the distant markets of the world. 6th. It discourages the production of corn in foreign countries for the English market, as there is no certainty of the corn be ing admitted into our ports for years together; and conse quently it limits the supply, and suddenly and unnaturally raises the price, when we most want corn from abroad. 7th. It diverts capital from the more profitable to the less profitable branches of employment, and thus retards the progress of the national prosperity. Bth. It adds to the price of every loaf the labourer cats." - The disadvantages to the trade and commerce of Eng land arc beyond all calculation. It is true that by the aid of machinery we pull up against this tremendous ad vantage in favour of our rivals ; but how long will that superiority last, when we are already exporting our ma. chinery to all parts of the world, and when that great equalizer—scientific discovery—is daily putting all nations oti - a level in this respect ? It is replied that the farmers and land-owners would suffer by the abolition of the Corn laws. We say not only that they would ultimately not suffer, but they would reap considerable advantage from the abolition. There might be a temporary depre s sion of the agricultural interest in the first instance, but it would soon right itself. What, again, is that temporary inconve nience when compared to the general advantage of the whole nation, and the ultimate advantage of the agricul turists themselves ? They could purchase all articles of consumption at a lower rate, and impart to their home customers additional power for consuming their produce in return. The effect of introducing foreign corn at all times into the country would lower greatest pt6heibplericimespuolfsemtaonuthfaectured goods, and give the ss com mercial prosperity of the country.- - Horning Advertiser. It appears that some Corn jobbers are at present endea vouring to get up a public apprehension about the aleficieney of this year's crop. No doubt these people have a dcotble object in view—they have corn to sell, of which they wish to raise the price, and the very same fiction which— so far as it may be believed—tends to raise prices, serves also for a handle of attack upon the Corn-laws and upon the landed proprietors. As to the general crop of the United Kingdom, there is as yet no cause for particular apprehension about it. It is certainly late, and it has suf fered much from the beating down of wind and rain, which have been more than usually violent during the summer. But no reasonable person expects that this year's crop will be much under an average one. In the Midland Counties we know that it is not. Taking the whole produce of the land, few years have given a more abundant crop than the present, and wheat is a fair average. In the poorer and more bleak parts of the country the grain is very backward ; but that may yet be repaired by fine wea ther, and it is to be remembered that the most back ward crop is the least likely to have suffered from the high inds. In short the jobbers seem to have be trayed themselves by coming out a little too soon with their lying statements, and the care wHI which they ap pend to every dolorific account a diatribe against the Corn laws, shows very clearly that the farmers, who should know the state of the facts best, have nothing to do with these stories. And what is, after all, the substance of their complaints against the Corn-laws ? They cannot deny that the moment corn grows dear in this country the duties will tall, and foreign corn, whether in bond, or yet to be imported, will come to us at a proportionably low rate. But they hive a hypothesis ready to meet this pal pable truth, and the hypothesis is highly worthy of . the clearness and candour which belongs to free-trade job bers. It seems that when the ports do open there will not be enough of foreign corn offered to us, because in consequence of our British Corn-laws - foreign growers have not sufficient encouragement to the growth of wheat ? According to the jobbers, our Parliament should leaislate, not with reference to the circumstances of our nation, but of foreign nations, and should take great care not to enact laws which may possibly not so much en courage, as it might be encouraged, the growth of wheat upon the European and American continents. How mon strous must be the impudence of the jobbers, when they venture to thrust such stuff as this upon the British public ? But they, perhaps, justly calculate upon the great extent of the ignorant prejudice in favour of cheap corn, and with correct cunning, estimate the advantages which they may themselves ultimately derive from the promulga tion of such glaring absurdity. We do not dispute the fact that if Great Britain were made dependent upon foreign countries for the food of the people—which it would be irate Corn-laws were abolished—a great deal would be grown purposely for our market, which now is not grown. But in this case we should suffer every year, from the overthrow of our agriculture, a thousand times the loss and the hardship which we do suffer in years of scarcity from the foreign supply not being so great as it might be. If a deficient crop were the rule, and a sufficient crop the exception, in the United Kingdom, then it would become the serious duty of the Legislature to accommodate the laws to the en couragement of a foreign supply of food. But since exactly the opposite of this state of the case happens to be the true state, it would be rather an insane playing int) the pockets of the free-trade jobbers, if the Legislature should lack more to the encouragement of foreign agriculture than to the encouragement of our own. When it becomes wisdom to legislate in favour of cases of exception, and in hostility to the general well-being of the nation, then, and I.ot t;11 then, will it be wise in the British Legislature to encourage the wheat-growers of the Continent, in order that the British supply may be sufficient. We have in this country two great sources of wealth—our agriculture and our manufactures—and we require that both sources should be attended to ; first because no source of wealth should be neglected, and secondly because it is only by at tending to both that we can find pr o d uct i ve l a b our for our large population. No nation can be thoroughly independent which does not contain withi n itself the me ins —upon an average of years—of maintaining itself ; and though some nations, from the necessity of the case, and because soil was wanting to them, have successfu!ly struggled against this great deficiency, yet that a nation not thus unfortunately circumstanced should wilfully abandon its own soil, and trust to intercourse with foreign countries for its supply of food, would be an act of national madness and baseness, of which none but the heartless, soul-less, money-clutching, free-trade jobbers would for an instant dream. Nor is there anything that could be taken as i n apparent or temporary inducement to such an insane sacai flee of landed wealth. If it appeared that we bad greater natural advantages for manufactures than other countries have, and if we were so circumstanced that we could not afford hands for agriculture without neglecting manufactures, and, leaving unexecuted the orders we received, then there sleight be some excuse for running the risk of making ourselves dependent for bread upon countries beyond sea; but we are not so circumstanced. Instead of not haviaz labourers enough for both agriculture and manufactures, we, find that, after doing our utmost to incr,:ase the demand fur bath kinds of produce, we have st'll hinds to spare, and we have still produce to spare. Ths great problem, indeed, which we have to solve in politico-social science is, how to give our redundant labourers a fair and reason able claim—in the shape of an acceptable quivalent fnr our redundant produce. In such circumstances why should we throw away the wealth which we derive from agricultural labour? We cannot transfer that labour to the production of manufacturing we filth, for there is no roam for its exercise. Thera are enough of labourers in that source of wealth already, end, were the demand for manufactured goods increased twenty per cent. between this day and this day month, such is the machinery of la hour we already have on font in that source of wealth, that we could supply the increased demand without interfer . - ing in the least with the productive labour devoted to agrt culture. But what the jobbers want is to make a corn- mission, and because a foreign trade would give th snit that and a home trade does not, they would let all the et:pit:ll and all the productive labour employed in agriculture. to ruin, o n ly considering themselves, th e i r profitable spsel lations, th e i r country houses, and their per tentage.. Therefore it is—and not from any abstract, love of addieg to the manufactures of the country—that they are at pre sent so largely engaged in the manufacture of lies concern ing the crops and the prospects of famine, and other non sense of the same disinterested description.—Mern. Post. The Canada Indemnity Bill tvas read a thiid time less night in the House of Lords. Oa this occaSieri 1-orti Denman delivered his sentiments on the measure. Ile bad attended, he said, with the utmost interest to the s'ie bates which had taken place on this subject, and to tine question which arose out of the ordinance of LOrd Durham of the 28th of June, and he must confess that he came to a clear and decided opinion that the ordinance was per fectly indefensible in point of principle. But he was by no means satisfied ti,at Lord Durham was not justified in ordering the prisoners to be transported to the Bermudas, and be could not make up hismind on the point mita he kid an opportunity of searching the Acts of Parliament. With respect to Bills of indemnity he was opposed to them on principle ; and he had been recently locking to the debates in 1818, and he there found trsat when a Bill of indemnity was introduced to meet the case of the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, one of its foremost opponents was Mr. Lambton. He had not the least doubt that if Lord Durham were now in the House, he would object to the present Bill. Toe ob jection taken by Lord Denman on principle to Bills of in demnity seems just and reasonable. If a wrong has been done to individuals in consequence of a violation of the law, they ought not to be deprived of their remedy. In the case of a criminal prosecution, the Crown may stup it in limine by a noli prosequi, and in case of conviction, pardon the transgressor. But where a civil action is instituted, the officer who has violated the law in the discharge of his duty ought to receive compensation from the public. To deprive tr , e - suffereessoftlderstdratirtrtrfofv - on I,i in exclusively a burden which ought to be borne by the community. Lord Denman is clearly right in principle. Pubic servants must be protected when acting in the discharge of a duty which they dare not refuse ; but there is an evident distinction between securing public servants againd. loss for acts done in the discharge of their duty, and depriving the indivi duals wrong ed by s uc h ac t s o f t h e re d ress to w hi c h t h ey are entitled. The public, in its abstract capacity, has no right to profit by demanding sacrifices from individuals. This would be reprehensible on the ground that has made whatever savours of confiscation unpalatable in our times. But the question, however interesting generally, is Of no importance with reference to Lord Durham ; for if the maxim quoted by Lord Brougham holds good, volenti non fit injuria, then the individuals who petitioned for the very course which Lord Durham adopted towards them are ne cessarily precluded from complaining of injury. But the measure is now out of the hands of the Lords, whatever may be its fate elSewhere.—Morning C'hronicle. The surprise, to call it by no stronger name, which was practised by the Ministers in the sudden smothering of the Irish Municipal Corporation Bill, and which one of their organs, in a paroxysm of abusive rage, struggled yesterday in vain to disprove, had led us to apprehend that sonic equally foul blow might be intended for the Tithe Bill. But the exposure of the stratagem against the former mea sure had probably its effect in protecting the present. This time notice was duly given. This time, in the Orders of the Day,• there stood the regular notification—. Tithes (Ireland) Bill: consideration of Lords' amendments." When we saw these words in that printed list of business, our minds were at ease, and we were then satisfied that the same discreditable artifice was not to be attempted a second time. Accordingly, the Lords' amendments were accepted, with no other debate than a few verbal suggestions and ex planations given in a conversational tone across the table : and thus, at length, after four years of trouble to Ire land, distress to her clergy, and disgrace toher Government, the Tithe Bill proposed by Sir Robert Peel in 1835 has been passed into a law by the opponents who turned him e'nt of office for urging it. After the acceptance of these amei,Aments, the House was occupied in unimportant con versations, and in arranging the details of some otber Mat ters, until atom: six o'clock, when the Canada Bill was brought down tram the House of Lords. Lord John Rus. sell then proposed, w ish reference to the lateness of the season, and to the desrableness of a speedy prorogation, that the Bill should be allow:d to take two stages imme diately—those of its first and m its second reading ; that it should be printed and delivered ie Members this morn ing ; and that an y d e b ate w hi c h itti f rov :siont might be thought to require should take place tb:: day, on the mo tion for going into Committee on its clauses • Upon this, Mr. Leader obse rve d, th a t th e course pr,:posed was rather summary, and that, before he could consent to so unusnal a step as the taking two stages in one night, he should like to know what the Ministers meant—whether they adopted the Bill ; whether they designed to make amendments in it ; and whether any despatches had arrived with the ordinances of Lord Durham; of which ordinances he thought the Bermudean portion by no means the most objectionable ; the other denunciation being in his mind, incomparably more atrocious. He alluded, also, to an ex tract which had got int) circulation from a private letter of Mr. C. Buller,. the . Governor's chief secretary, and which he characterized in terms of strong distaste. " I enclose you,' writes Mr. C. Bailer to his friend, " our fiat great act about the prisoners." An imposing commencement, no doubt, and, as Macbeth with equal elation expresses it, a .ppy prolokue to the swelling act Of the imperial theme.' Bat Mr. C. Buller's mind tniseave him as he wrote on. It will appear to you horribly unconstitutional and despo tic," says he. " Yes, indeed," says Mr. Leader," " I think so too." But Mr. Buller is ready with a vindication ; and such a vindication as he himself, if lie were in his place in the House of Co: uions this night, and opposed to the Go vernment, would handle with no sparing pleasantry. Every line of it, as was said of the Statute of Frauds, is worth a subidy. "It (our first great act) will appear to you hor ribly unconstitutional and despotic ; but it is really mild." And he adds, " We were obliged to include a great many in our provision (in conformity to a general rule laid down in each ease) whom we do not wish and do not in tend to treat harshly.
